Green hot chili peppers

The G man and myself took off this morn for the great Northwest. He needs to be in Eugene on Saturday to start the Northwest Youth Corps. We got a later than anticipated start this morn and then of course the multiple stops near Fredricksberg that included peach ice cream, fresh picked peaches and gas :)
Aside from the peach soft serve the highlight of the day came off of I-10! We had been driving for hours and saw an exit for Balmorhea State Park, a favorite swimming hole for us on our Big Bend spring breaks. We kinda looked at each other like ....can it be?? Because not only do we enjoy the swimming but there is a gas station there that has the best freakin' green chili burritos on the planet. Whenever we are in the neighborhood during spring break we usually stock the cooler up with dozens of assorted burritos and savor them lovingly when we get back home. Sure enough we were a mere 2 miles from the heaven-on-earth burritorama and we pulled in and scored dinner!
We drove past Las Cruces tonight and are holed up in a cheap motel eating burritos and peaches :)
Tomorrow we aim for the Sloans and LA...
